About this listen

 Every year, dozens of TV pilots get made, but only a handful ever make it to air. Most were destined to never be seen again except by a few collectors, but thanks to the internet, decades of TV pilots are available for anyone to watch. Some are amazing and you'll wish they had been made into a show. Some are terrible and you'll know why they never were. Some you'll wonder who even thought this was a good idea in the first place.

In each episode, Daniel picks out a pilot he thinks sounds interesting or weird or astoundingly awful and reviews it with co-hosts Julian and Keddy. To keep things moving along, Daniel also does as much research as he can and presents factoids about the pilot and the people involved to keep things moving along.

    Pilot Season Episode 02 - Alexander the Great (1963)
    Nov 2 2025
    In this episode, we review the 1963 epic Alexander the Great, starring William Shatner (Incubus), Adam West (Zombie Nightmare), John Cassavetes and Joseph Cotten (Heaven's Gate). Featuring way too many Star Trek references that only Daniel is nerdy enough to get, dirty, sweaty, muscular men, who are DEFINITELY NOT GAY, HOW DARE YOU, and also Daniel’s microphone is positioned wrong, so he doesn’t sound great. Sorry.

    Apologies for the poor sound quality in this episode. Two of our hosts did not have microphones and the one who did has high ceilings. We promise to do better next time, but this is our pilot!

    In this pilot episode of our TV pilot podcast, Daniel, Julian and Keddy review the absolutely atrocious 1991 pilot for the sitcom based on the 1984 hit comedy Revenge of the Nerds.

    If you dare watch it, you can find it here until YouTube decides to delete it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P47q1UeuObw

    Or you can just listen to us talk about the torture we had to go through instead.
